Pest Control in Allen, TX
Local, Family-Owned Pest & Wildlife Control Serving Allen, Texas
We’re Stellar Pest and Wildlife, a family-owned pest and wildlife control company based in Princeton, TX, serving Allen and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. From fire ants and termites to raccoons and rodents, we handle both pest control and wildlife removal under one roof. Allen homeowners and businesses don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors for a single property problem. We offer same-day and emergency service when the situation can’t wait.
Collin County’s clay-rich Blackland Prairie soil, humid subtropical climate, and creek corridors make Allen a year-round pest environment. Mild winters mean fire ants, cockroaches, and rodents stay active well past traditional pest seasons. That’s why choosing the right pest control company matters more here than in areas with harder freezes.
Ready to take back your home or business? Call Stellar Pest and Wildlife at (469) 378-8833 for a free estimate or to schedule same-day service in Allen, TX.
Pest Control & Wildlife Removal Services in Allen
Our pest control services cover the full range of common Allen pests: ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, termites, bed bugs, fleas and ticks, bees and wasps, scorpions, and more. Every treatment uses low-toxicity products applied only to targeted areas, tough on pests and gentle on people, pets, and plants.
Wildlife removal is one of the ways we stand apart in this market. Our wildlife services include mice and rodent control, raccoon removal, opossum removal, skunk removal, snake removal, and squirrel control, all handled with humane trapping, exclusion, and relocation methods.
Both services are grounded in integrated pest management (IPM), an approach that goes beyond spraying to address root causes. That means identifying how pests are entering a structure, sealing entry points, removing attractants, and coaching clients on prevention steps that can reduce the chance of reinfestation. Properties near Allen’s greenbelt corridors and creek channels often benefit most from this combined approach, where insects and animals can both be active on the same property at the same time.

Fire AntsThe red imported fire ant is not an ant species native to Texas. Rather, it was originally introduced to the United States from South America. These ants are dark rust-red in color and can reach up to ? inch in size. They typically build their mounded ground nests outdoors in areas that get a fair amount of sun.
Unfortunately, these pests have no known predators, and can thus grow in numbers exponentially once they find a place to build their colony. If they perceive a threat to their nest, the red imported fire ant will attack and sting people, wildlife, or even machinery. If stung, they will leave behind a red welt that can last for up to a week.
-
Rover Ants
The Rover ant is not an ant native to Texas. In fact, it’s a fairly new Texas ant species that found its way to the United States from Argentina and Paraguay. Very small in size, rover ants are pale yellow to blackish-brown in color and have relatively large eyes compared to the size of their heads.
Though they are not aggressive in nature, rover ants do have a tendency to invade properties in large numbers. They are attracted to moisture, and thus build their colonies around rot or fungal decay. This Texas ant species is most active during the spring and summer seasons.

Tawny Crazy Ants
First discovered around Houston in 2002, tawny crazy ants arrived in Texas from South America. Among the smaller types of ants in Texas, the Tawny Crazy Ant is only about 1/10 inch in length. These ants are reddish-brown in color and are most recognizable by the way they move. Rather than traveling in a straight line, these small, uniformly-sized ants follow a zig-zag like pattern.
Since they became among the many types of ants in Texas, tawny crazy ants spread quickly throughout the southern part of the United States. They often show up on properties in large numbers. Their plentiful population along with their ability to bite (they cannot sting) creates a nuisance for landowners.
-
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are among the ants native to Texas. These large black ants grow to be ½ inch or more in length. They prefer moist, humid environments and will infest homes while developing and expanding their colonies.
They are often mistaken for termites (and vice versa). However, unlike termites, they do not eat wood. Rather, carpenter ants tunnel through wood to create galleries, and in the process, they leave behind piles of sawdust or “frass” on the floor. This Texas ant species can cause extensive damage to your home or property if left to its own devices.
-
Pharaoh Ants
Also called “sugar ants” or “piss ants,” pharaoh ants are some of the smallest ants, about 1/12-1/16 inch long, with a light tan to reddish body. pharaoh ants are the most commonly occurring indoor ants in Texas.
In hospitals, it has been suspected to be a carrier of more than a dozen pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, and Clostridium. These ants do not sting and usually do not bite. Pharaoh ants are omnivorous, feeding on sweets (jelly, particularly mint apple jelly, sugar, honey, etc.), cakes and bread, and greasy or fatty foods (pies, butter, liver, and bacon).
-
Acrobat Ants
These tiny ants get their name because of their ability to lift their abdomen over their heads. They are light brown to black in color and the workers only grow to be around 2.5 and 4 mm long.
Although acrobat ants usually live outdoors in nests that they build in dead or decaying wood, sometimes they invade homes and establish colonies inside tunnels and galleries previously carved out by carpenter ants or termites. Therefore, if you see tiny black ants in your Texas home, this could be an indicator that you have another ant species infestation as well.
